    Replacing master Cylinder/bleeding tricks

    My P.O. had replaced the master cylinder, and it really started to leak out the boot. So, not to mess around, I ordered a new "correct" from Mid-West Military. Looking at the install,.....are there ANY tricks in bleeding this off without tapping into all the brakes? I noticed there is a small...

    12 Circuit Wiring for lighting

    I have a PO installed 12 V converter in my rig that powers up some "makeshift" roadworthy-esque lighting. I am very interested in picking up a Hot Rod type 12 circuit wiring harness and running a parallel 12V system to relamp and put some turn signals, etc. on my rig. I did a brief search and...

    Speedo cable routing.

    The cable assy appears new but I haven't pulled it. On the speedo end it "appeared greasy" I guess I should eliminate that. What is the best lubricant?

    Speedo cable routing.

    I just replaced my speedometer with a like new unit I found. (109 miles) The original speedometer would bounce like crazy, so I thought, well the speedometer is shot. The new one bounces a bit, but I have come to figure that my newer cable, via the PO may be binding. Please look at the photo...

    Clutch pedal adjustment

    No, I haven't gotten into the manuals. The free play was in INCHES. The PO had already installed a 3/4" thick chunk or hard rubber below the floor deck to prematurely stop the pedal, or give it a soft landing. I had so.e 5/8" square stock, so I simply "added to it"..... Now I don't have to...

    Clutch pedal adjustment

    I have done a search, and found some real close responses to my question. My clutch pedal is well proud of the brake pedal, I'm not the tallest at 6' 2", but I really have to strain to plant my hoof on that thing. Once there, I'm good until I stop. I laid underneath and stared, as well...

    Rewiring/wiring questions advice

    My hope is to drive this until I either get tired of the flathead, or she bites the dust. Currently no smoke, and I have help leaking at bay. For example, replacement military plug wires will cost nearly $1,000.00. A nice SBC under is just a bit more of that. I considered a hybrid set of wires...

    Rewiring/wiring questions advice

    Within my rig the PO installed a 12v converter. This runs a whole separate circuit for a pair of LED lights in the place of the blackout lights, and trailer lights, stand alone, in the rear for running/brake. Nothing for origional lighting works, and I believe the oem light switch is junk. The...

    Yup, I thought it was the craziest thing I ever saw...

    Pan gasket, and rear main seal questions.

    I am very OK with that approach. Big question I have is that the photos of several vendors show a set WITHOUT holes. Is there a recommended supplier? Thanks
